How I relate to a social media post

May 18, 2020 (Chapter 24 My Thoughts and Feelings & Chapter 26 MCI Tool Box in my book)

On social media I saw this post: “Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out …. just take another shot. This is how I can relate this post to living with a memory impairment. Even if you are having a lot of symptoms related to the memory impairment, you can still choose to focus on the positive things in your life. When things go wrong due to the memory impairment, try to journal about it. Write down the positives and the negatives. Try to come up with some strategies to help you cope with the symptoms. Always look forward to a new day and the happiness that it can bring you!
